JConcepts B74 aluminium steering rack & bellcranks

JConcepts have announced the release of new aluminium steering parts for the Team Associated B74 buggy in the form of a +3mm steering rack and a steering bellcrank set. Starting with the +3mm steering rack, the lightweight yet sturdy part is CNC-machined and replaces the stock piece, and it comes in a blue anodised finish and sports machined chamfered silver edges. The aluminium, lightweight assembly provides a more rigid steering system with increased steering feel and response. More importantly, the +3mm steering rack unlocks a tuning window allowing the steering link to be placed in a higher position. The camber link can now be moved higher along with the steering block to maintain proper geometry. The assembly is simple, drop the kit bearings into place and attach to either plastic bellcranks or aluminium steering bell-cranks.

Revolution Design B74 aluminium centre diff case

Revolution Design Racing Products’ aluminium centre differential case for the Team Associated B74 was developed to keep the drivetrain as consistent as possible over the whole run. The case is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and its design helps with heat dissipation in demanding racing conditions. Using the case not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improves heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff case comes hard-anodised for wear and looks and it includes a set of suitable hard-anodised aluminium inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits the B74 buggy equipped with the standard centre differential.
